Can we stop this midfield line-out nonsense already? We are not even making a meter from a line-out drive. Major issues on maul defence, maul attack and line-out in general.

I think most would agree that SFM should have seen yellow. It may have changed the flow of the game to some extent but it wouldn't have changed the Irish capitulation at scrumtime. Carley got pretty much everything else right.

Could only do that seven times at the WC if they played the Irish seven times. No other side has capitulated like the Irish did as scrum time. Can't change the game because one side cannot compete.

There is no place in the game to be going near a players eyes. Etzebeth should face a long ban. There is no mitigation for that. A still, blurry image of the Welsh player doing the same, is not evidence. But, if there is clear video footage of him doing it, ban them both.

I struggle to see how this is an easier route for England. Aus at home followed by Ireland (who knows where they will be in 2027) or Argentina, who are trending upwards and are not the side that just cause the odd upset anymore. Also, wouldn't bank on NZ beating Aus in pool play.
